Most every night when they're in bed	B
And both their little prayers have said	B
They shout for me to come upstairs	C
And tell them tales of gypsies bold	D
And eagles with the claws that hold	D
A baby's weight and fairy sprites	C
That roam the woods on starry nights	C
	-
And I must illustrate these tales	C
Must imitate the northern gales	C
That toss the Indian's canoe	E
And show the way he paddles too	E
If in the story comes a bear	F
I have to pause and sniff the air	F
And show the way he climbs the trees	C
To steal the honey from the bees	C
	-
And then I buzz like angry bees	C
And sting him on his nose and knees	C
And howl in pain till mother cries	C
'That pair will never shut their eyes	C
While all that noise up there you make	G
You're simply keeping them awake '	-
And then they whisper 'Just one more '	-
And once again I'm forced to roar	H
	-
New stories every night they ask	I
And that is not an easy task	I
I have to be so many things	C
The frog that croaks the lark that sings	C
The cunning fox the frightened hen	J
But just last night they stumped me when	J
They wanted me to twist and squirm	K
And imitate an angle worm	K
	-
At last they tumble off to sleep	L
And softly from their room I creep	L
And brush and comb the shock of hair	F
I tossed about to be a bear	F
Then mother says 'Well I should say	C
You're just as much a child as they '	-
But you can bet I'll not resign	M
That story telling job of mine	M
